Much later that night...
Aidan crept away from the shackled house and into the woods. "Okay I made the distraction, now what?" He looked back at the house just as two men walked out with guns.
"You're going to distract them again." Scott says. "Long enough for me and Isaac to get in. Do you think you can do that."
Aidan smiled. "How many of them do you think are in there?"
"I don't know but you have to keep your eyes open." Says Scott. "Remember these are professional hunter and they probably have this place laced with traps."
Isaac looked around. "If that's true then what do you think the inside going to looks like?"
Scott sighed. "Just watch where you're going alright?"
"Yeah." With that Aidan ran off.
Issac watched him go then turned back to the house. A few seconds later he heard a snap. "Did he just set off a trap?"
Scott smiled when the gunmen ran off into the woods. "He knows what he's doing." He looked around before walking out of the woods. "Come on."
Isaac shook his head but follows Scott into the house.
...
Danny was watching Ethan as he paced back and forth at the bottom of the staircase. "Will you stop because you're making my head hurt even more then it already does."
"Sorry." Ethan stops and sits a few feet away from Danny on the floor. "How are you holding up?"
"Besides my head, I'm alright." Danny says.
"So do you think that you and I can get through this together?" Ethan says in a low voice.
"All this is a little much and I don't think I get over what you did." Danny says. "If we make it through this I don't think we should see each other anymore."
Ethan sighed and rested his head back against the wall. "After everything we've been through you're just going to walk away from it."
"What else am I suppose to do here?" Danny says. "You're not human and you killed my dad."
"I couldn't control myself when I found out that he was hurting you Danny." Ethan says. "I just didn't want you to get hurt anymore."
"It's too late now." Danny says. "What's done is done, it's over."
Ethan buried his face in his hands and cursed in his head.
...
Thomas was walking through the dark woods where one of the traps got set off. When he got there wasn't a trace of nothing animal like. "Terry, something set this thing off on purpose!" When he didn't get an answer he looked around, gun cocked. "Terry!" He yelled again, still no answer. Suddenly he was grabbed from behind and thrown against a tree, knocking him out instantly.
Aidan grabbed him by the leg and dragged him further into the woods where the other man was. Standing back to exam his work he sighed. "You're lucky he said no killing." He turned and ran back to the house.
...
Scott and Isaac ended up splitting up and it was Scott who came around the basement door. He could smell human blood so he opened the door. "Ethan?"
Hearing the voice Ethan stood up and walked over to the stairs. "McCall, how did you know that we were here?"
"Questions later, lets go." Scott says looking down the hall to make sure no one was coming.
Ethan helped Danny on his feet and up the stairs. "Did you come alone?"
"No I came here with Aidan and Isaac." Replied Scott. "You get Danny out of here and I'm going to find Isaac."
"Wait?" Ethan says grabbing his arm. "Where's Aidan?"
"Somewhere outside." Says Scott. "How many more of them are there?"
"At least seven so watch your back." Ethan says.
"Okay, get him out of here!" Scott yelled running off.
Ethan help Danny outside and they were making their way down the steps when pain shot through Ethan's right leg.
Hitting the ground Danny moved away from Ethan as he writhed in pain.
Richard walked down the stairs and over to Ethan. "Did you really thin that I was going to let you get away that easy." He looked over at Danny and smiled. "Like I told you before, I'm going to take away everything you love." He started walking towards Danny.
"No!" Ethan yelled and just as he was about to get up Aidan appears out of nowhere and hits Richard over the head with a huge branch.
Scott and Isaac ran out just in time to see Richard crumble to the ground. "Damn it, Aidan I told you not to kill anyone!"
"Relax." Aidan replies. "I just knocked him out, he's still breathing."
"Are you alright?" Scott says going over to Danny and trying to help him up.
Danny pushed him away and got to his feet. "I'm fine but you want to tell me what the hell is going on and why you're here."
"Let's not do this here alright." Isaac says. "Just call Stiles dad before these guys wake up."
"I still say that killing them would have been better." Aidan says going over to Ethan.
"We're not killing anyone!" Scott yelled. "They'll get what they deserve when they go to jail." Scott says pulling out his phone.
"Okay what if they get out genius?" Said Aidan. "And if that does happen then what do we do?"
"Well deal with that if it comes to that." Replied Scott.
Fifteen minutes later
Danny was sitting in the back of an ambulance getting checked out by the paramedics. He was still trying to wrap his head around the nights events when Scott walked up to him. "Did you know about Ethan?" He asked before Scott could say anything.
Scott sighed. "Yeah I knew."
"Are you one of them too?" Danny asked and Scott nodded. "Why have you been keeping all this from me Scott?" He asked when the paramedic walked away.
"So you wouldn't get hurt Danny." Replies Scott. "I'm sorry for lying to you alright. At the time I thought keep it from you was a good idea but we should have told you months ago."
Danny sighed and looked down. "I just want to go home and forget all this ever happened."
"What about Ethan?" Asked Scott.
Danny looks up and followed Scott's gaze over to where Ethan was sitting on the steps of the shackled house. "I don't know, I just need some time alone to think."
Scott nodded. "Are you going to be okay?"
"Honestly, my head is so far gone right now that I don't know what to think anymore." Looking away from Ethan he shook his head. "I need to get out of here."
"Do you have a way home?" Scott asked.
Danny nodded. "Yeah, Stiles dad is going to give me a ride home when their done checking me out."
"Alright, well I'll leave you alone." Scott walked away from Danny and over to Ethan. "Hey?"
"I blew it didn't I?" Ethan says looking down as Danny got into the police car and drove off. "He's never going to talk to me again."
"Just give him some time alone." Scott says. "When he's ready he'll come to you."
"But what if he doesn't Scott!" Ethan yelled. "He barely let me touch him back there."
"Okay." Said Scott. "All this will be a lot to take in but everything will work out."
Ethan wanted to believe Scott but it all seemed pointless, it was over and there was nothing he could do about that.
Danny was physically and emotionally exhausted when he got home. His head was still hurting but he still ended up falling asleep, not bothering to even shower.
11:40 that night at Ethan and Aidan's apartment
Aidan was leaving his bedroom to get something to drink when he spotted Ethan sitting in the same spot since they got home. "Come on man, you should be happy. The guys that wanted us dead are now in jail."
"I don't care about any of that." Ethan says.
Aidan sighed. "Look I know this is a lot to take in but he's going to realize that he loves you. Besides I know what you're going through."
"You don't know the first thing about what I'm going through Aidan!" Ethan yelled. "Danny's gone and now I don't know what I'm going to do."
"Just hang in there, you'll be alright." Aidan says patting him on the shoulder.
"I need some air, I'll be back." Getting up he grabbed his keys, jacket and left the apartment.
